Principal features of the technique are: attachment of the plastic tag by means of a nylon‐thread loop prepared in advance of field work; use of a curved surgical needle with cutting edge and a split eye for application of the tag. The procedures for splitting the needleˈs eye and for applying the tag are described and illustrated by a series of photographs.
